Donated by Barge 166 by Maison Ferrand
This 30-litre cask contains the very first Plantation rum to have been matured on-board Barge 166, Maison Ferrand’’s new floating cellar in Issy-les-Moulineaux.
This Jamaican rum from the Clarendon distillery, released in very limited numbers, was selected by Maison Ferrand’’s founder and master blender Alexandre Gabriel in April 2021. It is the very first cask to have entered the barge’’s hull, beginning its maturation on 6 September 2021.
Successful bidders on Cask No.1 will be able to explore Barge 166 and follow the final stages of maturation of this exceptional cask. They will also be able to monitor the rum’’s evolution in barrel on the floating cellar and discover the aromatic subtleties associated with this unique ageing process. Once complete, they have priority access to one of just 50 or so unique and personalized 50 cl bottles, the first to be bottled from Barge 166.

The distillery La Barge 166 par Maison Ferrand

Maison Ferrand has been a family-owned producer of fine spirits since 1989. Its internationally acclaimed brands today include Ferrand cognac, Citadelle French gin and Plantation rum. The house has always been meticulous in the attention it pays to ageing, which is today an integral part of its decades-old expertise. Barge 166, the first ever floating cellar designed and created by Maison Ferrand, is the only location in the world where this type of ageing can be carried out, on the banks of the Seine in Issy-les-Moulineaux, just a stone’s throw from Paris. In this new adventure, Maison Ferrand is offering the chance for bidders to become the owners of casks of Ferrand cognac and Plantation rum which will be aged on the barge for several months. It is a unique invitation to join Barge 166’s crew of Private Cask Owners for the selection, finishing and bottling of bespoke 30-litre casks of spirits.
